Researchers at Stanford have developed methods to classify and treat MYC-driven hematopoietic cancers. The MYC oncogene drives the proliferation and survival of many hematopoietic cancers. These cancers are highly aggressive and do not respond to conventional chemotherapies.
Stanford researchers have patented the use of a coherent frequency-domain technique in microwave thermoacoustic imaging, which significantly improves signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and reduces peak-power requirements without sacrificing resolution or other performance metrics.
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HG-SOC) is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy, in large part because most patients present with late-stage disease and receive the same therapeutic regimen despite significant heterogeneity in disease and clinical response.
Researchers in Dr. Anton Wyss-Coray's lab have identified a new therapeutic avenue for treatment of age-related neurodegenerative diseases. Cerebrovascular changes and inflammation are key features of brain aging and neurodegeneration.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel method for the quantification of person-level network functioning, enabling the diagnosis of depression and suggesting an appropriate treatment.
In the presence of intra-fraction organ motion, target localization uncertainty can hamper the advantage of using highly conformal dose techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
Stanford researchers have developed SCOA-DUPI (Simulation-based Control Optimization Algorithm with Dynamic Uncertain Parameter Inversion), which relies on real-time data collected though embedded sensors that can be used to ease the operational challenges of Managed Aquifer R
Stanford Researchers have patented a method and apparatus for detecting ionizing radiation, that, if successful, would achieve a coincidence time resolution 100x better than current positron emission tomography (PET) detectors.
Stanford researchers developed an ultrasound method to estimate the local speed of sound of tissue, regardless of the tissue overlying the target location.
Stanford researchers have developed a software tool called GapMap that contains one of the most robust resource databases for families with autism, compiled via exhaustive machine-learning methods, and highlights gaps in clinical services.
Stanford researchers at the Rao Lab have developed apoptosis imaging probes with an improved new molecular structure enabling high sensitivity and stability with better performance in vivo.
An interdisciplinary team of Stanford researchers is developing a dual axis confocal (“DAC”) microscope system for in vivo imaging of tissues at the cellular scale.
